"The Payload" 

The payload 
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly 
of a ruinous pregnant cloud 
bilious with buxom promise

it came crashing down 
like school fish released 
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

The Shape of Mourning
by Michael R. Burch
 
The shape of mourning
is an oiled creel
shining with unuse,
 
the bolt of cold steel

Once,

maybe thrice,

A clan of crazy ecofeminists
conspired within an 88 unit residential castle
in their historically converted 
sometimes hysterically clueless condo

badly bald aging building

With a sometimes soggy south walled school,

Erin

bright carrot?and her milkmaid-pallid skin,

her brilliant air of cavalier despair,

A wave implodes,

telling me
that nothing returns

A rich thief
